Champions League Group E
Leverkusen-Roma: Leverkusen doesn’t feel well lately, evident from the fact that it has had 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats in its last 10 games over the last couple of months. Roma on the other hand has managed 3 wins in its last 4 games and is not far from the top of the table in Serie A.
Bate-Barcelona: Barcelona’s performances this season are far from being convincing and the ease with which it is conceding goals is quite notable. Bate has managed a great 3-2 win against Roma in its first home game for the group and there is a lot of enthusiasm in the team for today’s encounter.
Champions League Group F
Arsenal-Bayern: Arsenal has suffered 2 unexpected defeats in its first 2 games in the group against Dinamo with 2-1 away from home and against Olympiakos with 2-3 at home, hence it is vital for the team to get the 3 points from this game. Bayern has managed 2 wins in its first 2 games with an associated 8-0 goals’ aggregate in them.
Dinamo Z.-Olympiakos: These 2 teams have managed unexpected wins against Arsenail in their first and second games in the group respectively, suffering heavy defeats from Bayern in their first and second games in the group respectively. Dinamo has had 9 over 2.5 goals outcomes in its last 10 games in all competitions and Olympiakos is a team which scores with relative ease.
Champions League Group G
Dinamo K.-Chelsea: Dinamo has suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat from Shakhtar over the weekend, in the derby game between the first 2 teams on the table in Ukraine. Chelsea’s performances have been the worst the team has had at the beginning of a season for a decade.
Porto-Maccabi: If Porto manages to win the game it will make a serious step towards its qualification into the next round of the competition, especially if the other game between Dinamo and Chelsea ends up in a draw. Maccabi is by far the weakest team in the group, suffering 2 defeats in its first 2 games without scoring a single goal in them.
Champions League Group H
Zenit-Lyon: The odds of the game are far-fetched, not reflecting the fact that Lyon has been beaten only twice in its last 9 games. Zenit is also unbeaten in its last 8 games, managing 4 wins in them. Lyon will be in trouble if it doesn’t get something out of this game especially if there is a winner in the other game of the group.
Valencia-Gent: Gent’s first aim in this game is not to lose it since it will widen the gap from Valencia to 5 points, the difference which currently stands between Genk and Zenit which is topping the table. Valencia’s performances this season are mediocre but it should be mentioned that it has managed a 3-0 home win against Malaga in its last game for the league.
